In this ground breaking and deeply felt work, Bron Taylor examines the advancement of "green religions" in North America and beyond: spiritual practices that hold nature as sacred and also have, in many cases, replaced traditional religions. Tracing an array of organizations - radical environmental activists, lifestyle-focused bioregionalists, surfers, new-agers involved with "ecopsychology", and organizations that hold scientific narratives as sacred - Taylor addresses a central theoretical question: How do environmentally focused, spiritually determined individuals and moves be realized as spiritual when most of them reject spiritual and supernatural worldviews? The "dark" of the title further expands this idea by emphasizing the depth of believers' enthusiasm and also recommending a potential darkness side: besides uplifting and inspiring, such religious beliefs might mislead, deceive, or in some cases precipitate assault. This book provides a fascinating global head to of the inexperienced religious phenomenon, enabling listeners to evaluate its worldwide introduction and to examine its role in a critically important spiritual revolution. The publication is released by University of California Press.
